How Big Tech is Driving Global Unhappiness
This video examines the impact Big Tech, especially smart phones, social media and headphones have on the rise of global unhappiness as measured in Gallup's 2022 Global Emotions Report. The primary mechanisms cited were 1) the amount of screen time people spend on their phones takes time away from sleep and connecting with others 2) Social media users are subjected to thousands of targeted advertisements per day 3) Social isolation caused by using headphones and missing out on conversations and shared experiences 4) Non-stop feed of (mostly negative) news and political spin
